In honor of Mother’s Day (week), Caitlin has her mom back onthe podcast. They are recording from a trip to their family’s home in Montana. Alison (Caitlin’s mom) has always had a mantra about “showing up for your people.” In many ways, this was inspired and reinforced by the community of people that they have in Montana. So, it felt like the perfect topic to discuss between the two of them. Caitlin finally opens up about the major loss she first discussed in “Let’s Talk About … Support.” She details one of the hardest things she’s ever done, which is something related to that same loss while in Montana. They both tell other stories about times when they have felt like others showed up for them and they showed up for others. They also describe the feelings about others not showing up for them and how they handle that. This is a very emotional episode, including some near-tear moments. But, the most vulnerable moments are often where we can all feel most connected. Enjoy!
